Live: Kenji López-Alt No Longer Calls His Recipes “The Best” (Reheat)
About this episode
Dan Pashman interviews J. Kenji López-Alt about his new book and the science of cooking with a wok.
Chef, YouTuber, and cookbook author J. Kenji López-Alt joins Dan on stage at Swedish American Hall in San Francisco to celebrate the release of Kenji's new book, The Wok: Recipes and Techniques. It wouldn't be a Kenji interview without some science, so we delve into what's happening, thermodynamically, when you cook with a wok. But we also go deep on how Kenji became the internet cooking science guru that he is today – and how his feelings about that role have changed in recent years.
